Since I have failed to post in this thread previously...I thought I should post my details in here!  Excuse the length of it but just want you to know all about me!

Well I am from a small isolated town called Weipa in Far North Queensland Australia right on the tip of Cape York Peninisular in gulf country...which means crocodile country!!  It is a tiny town, isolated from the rest of the country and population so I do not get to see many people up there!  Just over 2000 people live there...in the whole of the tip of Queensland only 10,000 people reside within the cape scattered all over the place!  So cool!  I moved here to start life again and begin a new crazy adventure!  So strange to be a city chick after 32 years and move to the sticks!  I've been a high heel and city attire gal all my life...but that has not changed...I just blended myself in with the traditional Aussie flavoured folk much to their amusement!

I began my life on the 7th March 1974 in a small country town in New South Wales in the Hunter Valley wine country in a town called Singleton.  My parents moved us to Brisbane a couple of years later where I grew up my whole life in there living in the inner city amongst the hustle and bustle of city life apart from a couple of stints of living in Sydney and on the sunny Gold Coast in Surfers Paradise!!

I'm a university graduate!  I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration Management degree...and I worked for the same university for 7 years which I have now given up to move to Weipa!  I loved my job but I wanted something new..and I sure have it now!  I have accepted a position within the school up here...which means I get all the school holidays off...and Australian schools sure get alot of them!  Yay!  Means plenty of time for travel and I will be travelling all over the place!  I aim to explore my country in depth and also visit overseas as much as possible as well!  I cannot wait to visit the USA and UK and hope I will get to meet some of you eventually!

I am single again after 14 years...and I have been loving it!  Even though I have not even looked at another person with interest in months...who has time...have been having too much fun meeting new people on myspace and through my travels!  I am having a ball!

But my main interests are reading...I too am a Stephen King nut, but I enjoy my books on political satire...the Australian government offer such fodder for it!  I love sketching, painting, drawing, I love all the arts really!  I enjoy the beach...even though I live near the ocean now I cannot swim there due to the salt water and freshwater crocodiles inhabiting all the waterways!  I love spontaneous impulsive travel and behaviour but my main passion is my love of music!  I love rock, a fondness for Aussie rock, jazz, blues, funk, soul!  I spent my years going out to pubs just to see live original bands on a regular basis!  I support live music wholheartedly!  I assisted a couple of bands with Public Relations and even appeared in one of their music video clips!  The only music I cannot handle is rap, hip-hop and death metal...i do not consider this music!

Admittedly it was JD who found me via myspace a short while back and he introduced me to the wonderful group of people here at FFR and I am enjoying everyone immensely!  So fantastic to meet everyone!  Am going to enjoy getting to know everyone a whole lot more!

Raj, thought you might want to get to know all of us and maybe tell everyone a little about you.

Wow, I never realized this thread existed! For shame! {{lol}} Well, I guess I'll begin at the beguine...

I am 35, single, older sister to 2, "sugar momma" to 2 cats and 2 ferrets. I work for Harley-Davidson Motor Company in their rider education intiative as an events and training coordinator / project manager / jack of all trades. I just got my BSBA in December...hooray! I have a lovely and odd family I adore - Japanese, German, Sicilian lineage mostly that makes them an incredibly funny blend! I'm a Nichiren Buddhist as well. Anything else you would want to know is on my webpage at http://www.myspace.com/garou_gal.

Sorry it's so short, but I think my webpage tells all...well, most of it anyway! {{lol}}

A creature when backed into a corner or difficult situation will escape by weeping itself until it becomes a pool of tears. It’s one of those songs from when I  was a teen, really stuck in my head. Genesis was one of my favorite bands back then. I still dig listening to that old stuff from time to time. I went through the punk/new wave thing in the late seventies and thru the eighties. Of course, I tried Grunge. It was okay. I’ve got a short attention span for music. Now it seems that I “honor” bands more than really like or love any specific style or band. It’s a mood thing.

I’m a dad. A husband. I’m always trying to get some form of exercise built in to my day.

Hamburgers are the best food ever.

I’ve owned over forty cars since 1980. Presently, I have a remarkable car. A 1960 Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible. I only drive it when it perfect out. I try to justify driving a car that gets 12-14 mpg by riding my bike to work as often as I can. In summer, I drive a 1997 Celica convertible for my daily driver.

Favorite way to chill: Vodka Tonic on the patio during a summer eve. Jazz playing on JD’s old stereo that I keep in the garage.

When I grow up I want to be an artist.

Come to think of it, I don't think I ever introduced myself....

I'm 48, married for 23 years to Terri and have a 16 year old son, Andrew, who is a Straight A student and has been since Elementary School.  He's now a 10th grader in HS.  I live in the Orlando, Florida area and have for the past 16 years (well April will be 16).  Before moving the family to Florida I lived in the Philadelphia area, although primarily on the New Jersey side.  I lived in the New York City area (born in Brooklyn, lived in Queens, on Long Island and in NJ) until I graduated HS and then moved to South New Jeesry for College (Rowan University, if ya care).  Hobbies include sports and music.  Love the NY Mets and Orlando Magic.  As far as music, I'm a 70's junkie and for some reason have not much knowledge from the early and mid 80's, but picked up again in the 90's.  Fav artists include Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffett, Billy Joel, Kenny Loggins and just about any live music I can get to!
